MontBell Ultralight Down Parka - Men's
Needs more loft & slightly big for me.

Great jacket, and probably would have done the job for me and I'm sure will service others well. I am 5'10" and 175# & fairly fit. The Large was OK on my torso, but the arms were a touch too long which I know would have bothered me eventually. For slightly more money you can score the Feathered Friends Daybreak, and just a bit more $ the Daybreak hoody (same basically also as the Western Mountaineering Flash hoody which admittedly I have not tried on). I recommend trying these two other options (perhaps at the local gear store? Mine had the FF option) for more loft & higher perceived quality, at the same weight penalty. I believe ultimately I will be happier with the Daybreak, but they are all awesome jackets - the 3 best offered in this little niche market
